Delanie Walker's touchdown catch in the third quarter proved to be the winning score as San Francisco took a 13-6 win over Seattle in a tough battle at Candlestick Park.
Frank Gore provided most of the yards for the 49ers (5-2) as he totaled 131 yards on 16 carries and added five catches for 51 yards to help the team bounce back from last week's rout at the hands of the Giants.
Alex Smith was 14-for-23 with 140 yards, one touchdown and one interception while David Akers kicked a pair of field goals for San Francisco, which moved into the top spot in the NFC West with the victory.
Russell Wilson had a rough game as he was just 9-for-23 with 122 yards and an interception for the Seahawks (4-3), who had won their previous two coming in. Marshawn Lynch totaled 103 yards on 19 carries and had a 13-yard catch in the loss. Source: Sports Network Attached Thumbnails
